Good Googly Moogly?
Don’t forget SnapZ ProX to screen record w/sound into Quicktime for a more pernament, DRM less solution.
And with Quicktime Pro it’s really easy to do some basic editing if you Google how to do it.
Oh yes Quicktime Pro will export into a iPod ready format for you too.
Seems some of the video are already in a iPod format.
How sweet.
Google is going to kick Microsoft’s collective assets.

I made the download. I even tried Spreadsheets. When Google unveils their own version of Smell-O-Vision, then I’ll be impressed.
MW: likely, as in not bloody.
Thats, Great Googly Moogly.
Where can you get SnapZ ProX?
Also take a look at iShowU ($20):
iShowU allows you to capture and record anything you can see on your screen, along with audio from any compatible source.

CandTsmac: I think that was my point. Is it “Great Googly Moogly” or just “Good Googly Moogly”?

Neat, just enter some info in the Google video search bar and get videos. Like “porn” for instance.
“”Static” in “static mesh” doesn’t mean “doesn’t move” – it can be moved, rotated, retextured and scaled (even disproportionally) in realtime. The “static” only refers to the fact that it can’t be animated, that is, the relative positions of the vertices are fixed. Hence, static meshes are useful for displaying pieces of architecture that don’t move at all or might move as a whole, but they’re no good for displaying players, whose bodies need to bend and change shape.”
I always thought you could be retextured.
OH MY GOD
You have to see this video, it’s hillarious!! (not smutty, just funny)

Yikes.
Not really funny when you realize how funny the original song really is. This is from the Broadway Musical “Avanue Q”, about a neighborhood in Manhattan full of gay puppets. Try it out.. you’ll like it…..
Hey Google,
How about a Universal version of Google Earth already! And how about Google Pro so I can use my GPS with it.
Okay, so will this player play Google’s pay content? I would assume yes, but I can’t find anywhere that says for sure and I’m not about to pay for some video just to find out. Google Video’s help page still says that pay videos are Windows-only, but they may simply not have updated yet.
If we do have access to the premium content, then hurrah for the first real competition to iTunes. Shame Google Video is so pathetic. Either be YouTube or be a video store. Being both doesn’t work.
(For a perfect example, enter “CSI” into the player’s search window and see what comes up.)

CandTsmac,
That’s “That’s”.
point of information:
The song “The Internet is For Porn” is from the new tony-winning hit musical “Avenue Q”
just downloaded it on an 800mhz G4 imac & 1.2G iBook . . . seems to do just fine comparing the same videos on my 1.2G iBook

Google is smart to do this, youtube.com is on the verge of taking over the internet video playback world. And we can’t let that happen can we? Or can we?
